When I was in the Middle East I asked my Arab friends why they do not do more to control their terrorists. They looked thoroughly pissed off and asked why we in the West do not do more to control our criminals. It’s a fair point and one I had not pondered until then. We don’t know yet if Norway’s gunman is a lunatic, a criminal or a terrorist. And, it won’t matter to his victims how we define him. What we do know is that efforts to control such horrors are Sisyphean by nature. How do you find a solution to an arbitrary vector with no boundary conditions specified.

An incident like this opens up a can of worms, read Lindsay Mitchell's blog, reveals some social situations that have been festering on the back burner. http://lindsaymitchell.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweden-not-egalitarian-paradise.html
